Hi Chris

Thanks very much for getting back to me about this one, and showing me where to look. How would you recommend to proceed? Do people often make changes to the core code and recompile locally? I appreciate an upgrade would overwrite it (unless we can persuade you to include it in the next release, of course!!

Thanks very much again
Scott

Hi Scott,


Hm, I see here ( https://github.com/archivesspace/archivesspace/blob/master/backend/app/converters/ead_converter.rb#L83 ) in the importer code where certain character are being changed to underscores, so it should be pretty easy to change.


But, I honestly don't know why this was implemented in the first place... Poking around to see if something would break if there was a "/" in the component id.


b,chris.

Hi folks

I've been alerted to a minor issue from the EAD import:

Contents of element <unitid> - its separator values/punctuation change on import, e.g.

"Coll-31/2/EC.49" becomes "Coll_31_2_EC_49".

The slash is an integral part of the departmental unitid- is it possible to implement a fix to preserve slashes in certain instances?

Cheers
Scott
